Erin: 22, female, brown, black hair, slight build very athletic suffered from obesity at an early age.

The Café: Two Story building, reinforced "Zombie Proof" ground floor, living quarters on the upper floor. Flat roof/ observation area.

We join our friends right where we left off in the first chapter.

"What are we going to do now?" inquired Jake.

"Try and get the hell out of here of course," replied Erin.

"No, that right now is not only futile but too risky," added Andrew staring out at the chaos.

"So what we wait here and starve!" retorted Erin.

"No, we're going shopping," replied Andrew grinning maniacally.

"Huh?" said Jake bewildered, "How the hell we gonna do that?"

"I really have not thought about that but give me some time," replied Andrew.

"Well I am going to get some breakfast," said Erin putting her hands behind her head and walking to the stair well.

"I think I am going to join..." started Jake when he cut himself short, "Oh my god look!"

Andrew turned in the direction of Jake's line of sight. Down on the street just a few yards away from the café, was a young woman running away from a crowd of four of the undead creatures chasing after her.

"Call out to her, tell her head here now!" said Andrew already heading toward the fire escape.

"Wait! What!" said Jake before realizing what Andrew meant and started Jumping up and waving his hands in the air, "HEY OVER HERE! GO TO THE FIRE ESCAPE!"

The woman apparently heard him because she increased her speed towards the side of the building. Andrew had lowered the ladder just enough that he was hanging just 6 feet above the ground. Then he ran towards the front of the building. Where he was immediately rushed by a zombie he pushed it back with the back and hit a homer with his next swing. More of the things were appearing out seemingly thin air.

"Damn, where are the things coming from?" Andrew muttered as he beaned another undead. The woman reached him faster than he expected.

"Quick, climb!" he said pointing to the ladder.

"It's too high!" replied the lady suddenly pulling a hand gun from behind her back and shooting the nearest creep in the head but more were coming.

"Here!" said Andrew kicking a crate below the ladder then spinning around and clubbing another zombie.

The woman sprinted over to the crate and jumped up to the ladder. Andrew tried to follow but the going was tough. More and more Zombies filled the alley; suddenly a flaming bottle fell from the roof and crashed on the zombies. The contents of the bottle washed over the crowd and the fire followed right after. The zombies screeched and flailed around as more bottles rained upon them. Andrew took the opportunity to scramble up the ladder. When he reached the roof he saw that Erin instead of eating, she made Molotov cocktails. Andrew gabbed one from Jake's hand and threw it on the crate below the ladder. The crate burned and Andrew pulled up the ladder.

"Can we never go down there again?" asked Andrew sitting on the roof.

"Thank you for saving me," said the new woman staring at Andrew.

"Wasn't me alone you probably would have run pat us if not for Jake," replied Andrew.

"Thanks for the cocktails Er," Andrew said nodding towards Erin.

"Anytime," was Erin's answer. She then turned towards the newest addition to the group, "So what's your name?"

All eyes focused on the young lady, she looked over the three strangers that risked their lives for her and said, "My name is Vanessa, Vanessa Chen."

Well here's Chapter 2 I hope you like it. It isn't perfect but I like it so if you review I ask kindly offer advice not cruel criticism.

As for you Mr. The Simon Cowell of FFnet, I guess it's true what they say. Those who can't do teach and those that can't teach criticize.

Saviea thanks for the compliments and advice.

HectorVictorious I know it's seldom but I like some campy dialogue once in a while don't worry it is not going to be a common occurrence.
